There are three types of Dungeons in Elder Scrolls Online: Delves, Public Dungeons and Group Dungeons. Note: none of the small starter areas have dungeons.

There are many Delves in each quest zone, each with a minimum of one boss. There are two types of delves:

Solo Delves, designated by the symbol. Any player can enter the Delve at any time, even if they are not in your group.

Solo/Group Delves, designated by the symbol. In the faction zones, any player can enter the Delve at any time, even if they are not in your group. These delves signify harder content, meaning you might want to enter with others. In Craglorn, these delves are group instanced and designed for a maximum of 4 players.

There is at least one Public Dungeon in each quest zone (exceptions are Cyrodiil and some DLCs), designated by the symbol. Each consists of a quest boss, several mini bosses and a group event boss. Any player can enter the Public Dungeon at any time, even if they are not in your group. You can earn a skill point in each Public Dungeon by completing the "group event" boss. Public dungeons also have achievements you can earn.

There is at least one Group Dungeon in each quest zone (except for some DLCs), designated by the symbol. Group Dungeons are designed for a group of 4 players. No more than 4 players may enter the dungeon at a time, and all players must be in the same group. For the most difficult Group Dungeons, you will need a good group composition. You can earn skill points by completing the quests (non repeatable) in each Group Dungeon. Group Dungeons also have achievements you can earn. There are three versions of Group Dungeons now after the One Tamriel update:

Version I - These were previously designated as "normal" dungeons each with it's own story line and achievement. Now in One Tamriel, there is a Version I normal (less difficult) and a Version I veteran (more difficult) choice when you select the dungeon from the map. The normal vs. veteran version is determined by how you have the group difficulty set.

Version II - These were previously designated as "veteran" dungeons each with it's own story line and achievement. Now in One Tamriel, there is a Version II normal (less difficult) and a Version II veteran (more difficult) choice when you select the dungeon from the map. The normal vs. veteran version is determined by how you have the group difficulty set.

Named Dungeon - These were previously designated as "normal" dungeons without a veteran version. Each had it's own story line and achievement. Now in One Tamriel, there is a normal (less difficult) and a veteran (more difficult) choice when you select the dungeon from the map. The normal vs. veteran version is determined by how you have the group difficulty set.

Delves

Accessible by all players solo or in groups, feature quests, skyshards and achievements for killing elite monsters.

Group Dungeons

These special dungeons are intended to be completed in coordinated groups and feature detailed quests. They can be accessed from any faction and at any level, and grant a skillpoint and achievements upon completion. Group dungeons have Normal and Veteran modes. Normal follows the character progression through the zones. Veteran is after level 49, and adds mechanics, difficulty and story to each dungeon, with the plus side of wonderful end-game loot.
